SYMPTOMS

There are different types of psoriasis, depending on where the rash sits on the body. The characteristic of psoriasis is that the skin is red, thickened and covered with glistening dandruff. Some people have so few symptoms that they do not even notice that they have the disease. There may be long periods when the disease is not in outbreak.

TREATMENT IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM

The most common form of treatment for psoriasis is topical treatment, where the psoriasis stain is lubricated with cream or ointment, for example, calcipotriol.

CAUSES

The cause of psoriasis is unknown, but hereditary factors seem to have a bearing. On the other hand, it is known that a number of factors can provoke outbreaks such as infection, medication, stress, skin damage, smoking and alcohol.

NORDIC CLINICS TREATMENT

Studies show that dietary intake in people with psoriasis can have an effect on the degree and frequency of symptoms. Specific nutrients such as fish oils have shown good results as the inflammatory reaction in the skin is inhibited. Likewise, a gluten-free diet has shown clinical improvement in symptoms.

In people with psoriasis, it is important to strengthen the immune system, to reduce the extent and duration of outbreaks. This is done by consuming the right diet and excluding reactive foods. Nordic Clinic’s professional therapists take the above factors into account. In addition, the treatment may include various laboratory analyzes, which will streamline and target the treatment.

One of the purposes of the analyzes is to identify the immune-damaging foods that are ingested. Another current analysis is the stool analysis CSAPx2. It can tell if the body is producing enough digestive enzymes for optimal digestion of food. In addition, it is examined whether the body is under the influence of overgrowth of fungi, bacteria or parasites.
